Mark Beaumont, record-breaking cyclist who peddled his way
around the world in less than 80 days joins us to discuss
perseverance- among other things. He notes in passing, early on in
the conversation that he had broken bones for most of the trip. But
his focus in the interview- as it was then- was to accomplish the
ultimate goal. And the ultimate goal was accomplished by achieving
the daily goal every day. His focus was on cycling an average of
240 miles each day. He shattered his original record by 44 days,
meaning the ultimate goal wasn't about beating the number- it was
optimizing his human output.
